Activities at Mount Tryon Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Mount Tryon Care Home
Christmas Wreath Course
We all have gotten creative here at Mount Tryon Care Home and began making Christmas wreaths to hang around our home. This brought back a lot of memories of our previous Christmases, discussing childhood memories of decorating the house for Christmas and the excitement building across the month. Everyone at Mount Tryon are looking forward to all the activities we will be doing during this joyous season.
Christmas Decorations
Here at Mount Tryon while joyfully singing along to Christmas tunes, we set up our Christmas trees, lights, and other decorations, truly getting into the festive mood. We all had a great day, and we couldn't wait for our Santa to start singing to us. Our residents are now truly in the festive spirit and looking forward to enjoying a December filled with festive activities.
90th Birthday Celebrations
Happy birthday to Rosemary who celebrated her 90th birthday today and what a wonderful day she had!
Our lovely Chef, Jo, made a special cake to mark the occasion, and Rosemary went out for a beautiful lunch with her friends and family before spending the afternoon celebrating with her husband and loved ones.
Happy 90th Birthday from all of us at Mount Tryon!
Afternoon Game of Monopoly
This afternoon at Mount Tryon, we had a great time playing Monopoly and becoming real estate agents.
It was entertaining because we all had the objective of staying financially solvent and it brought back many memories of playing the game as kids and discussing the properties on the board.
Our game is not over as not one of us are bankrupted yet, we are all eager to continue our game in the morning!
Gentle Leg Exercises
This week at Mount Tryon, we requested that Jermaine, our physio assistant, modify our boxing session to demonstrate a mild leg movement technique that we might do in between our beloved boxing sessions.
Jermaine showed us that leg strengthening activities increase joint stability, flexibility, and muscle strength.
Strong legs make it easier for senior citizens to carry out everyday tasks including walking, ascending stairs, getting out of chairs, and keeping balance.
This lowers the risk of falls and increases mobility in general.
Thank you Jermaine!
National Cappuccino Day
We had a great afternoon on National Cappuccino Day.
After creating our wreath for Remembrance Sunday in the morning, and making a few extra special poppies, we sat down to some heartfelt poems about Remembrance.
This was followed by some well-earned cappuccinos with chocolate toppings and a wartime sing-a-long that was enjoyed by all!
